2018 Aston Martin DBS 5.2L Petrol · 70 Y

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend across its documented history. The most recent test in October 2025 at 33,466 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a nail in the offside rear outer tyre. This represents a consumable issue rather than a mechanical or structural failure, indicating that the vehicle has been presented without significant defects for the five consecutive annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use patterns, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the car covered 5,468 miles, while the more recent intervals between 2022 and 2025 saw even lower accumulation, often dipping to as little as 2,500 miles per period. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components perished or flat-spotting and fluids degrading due to extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term standing rather than mileage. The suspension bushes and sidewalls should be checked for cracking or dry rot, given the low annual usage. Brake discs and calipers must be examined for surface corrosion or seized pistons, which frequently occur when vehicles are not driven regularly. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or recurring failures, verifying the integrity of the underbody and the state of the fluids remains essential for a high-performance vehicle of this profile.
